Support National Geographic and get a 2013 deduction. View in web browser. Receive a special thank you gift today Dear Friend of National Geographic, I've got some good news for you. With the support of people like you, we are saving more lions, cheetahs, leopards, and other big cats than ever before. New and innovative pilot conservation programs have proven very successful, so with your help, we plan to expand them in 2014. That's why I'm asking you to make a special year-end gift today for big cats. Make your gift before midnight tomorrow and you will also gain a 2013 tax deduction. And, for your contribution of $75 or more, you will receive a special gift: Game of Lions, a new big cat film by National Geographic filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert. Thanks to big cat supporters, lion killings in active conservation areas in the Ruaha region of Tanzania have declined by 60%. In the Ewaso region of northern Kenya, not a single lion has been lost to a herder's retaliatory killing in more than three years. These are just two examples of how contributions from caring people like you are helping save big cats. Your tax-deductible donation today will enable our grantees to: Protect lions from the illegal bushmeat trade and poachers Expand our extremely successful program to stop the retaliatory killing of big cats to Uganda Move cheetahs among reserves in South Africa to grow a stronger, more genetically diverse population Launch our first snow leopard conservation program in Tajikistan With your help, we will stop the decline of big cats—by expanding highly effective conservation efforts—one cheetah, one pride of lions, and one big cat region at a time. Please become my partner in saving these magnificent animals today. Make your tax-deductible contribution of any size now. Your gift today will make a big difference for big cats in the coming year. Please give whatever you can. Thank you for taking action for big cats. May your New Year be filled with roars of joy! Sincerely, Nancy Rehman Vice President P.S. Please act today to help save big cats by making your tax-deductible contribution online. Give $75 or more and I will send you Game of Lions, award-winning National Geographic filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Jouberts' latest big cat film, to show my appreciation for your generosity.
